PreIudIoe ALWAYS Lives.

One bright June morning, some years
ago, a party of travelling men we're gaz-
ing u upon one of the most charming
landscapes in the Susquehana valley.
In the party was an English gentle
man, whose prejudIces were stirred by
the Mandatory tone of the conversation.
He grew restless and exclaimed:
This may seem to rawther a
pretty scene, but If you want to see real
ly beautiful scenery, you must go to
England, where the air is softer. the
grass greencr and the flowers more fra
grant than here"
As he finished, one of the party whose
ancestors were of good old revolutionary
Yankee stock. turned to him and with
more candor than politeness, said;
"My friend, in childhood, at my
mothers knee, taughtthree things:
First, to revere The great Creator; second,
to love the stars and stripes; and third,
to hate a Britisher. Thisi is one of the
many occasions when l fully realize the
beneficial influences of early training"
Among the obstacles that obstruct a
mans upward progress in this world, are
the p~reiudices which, planted in the
character-formin period Of early youth
he finds have become firmly fixed in his
maturer nature.
1t is difficult to root them out. Men
may battle us they will; they on seldom
entirely overcome their early impress
sions.
The progressive man discovers that he
must leave his prejudices behind if he
would keep step in the ranks.
1t is a question Of growth, both mental
and moral that becomes the standard Of
development in the present age. Willie
there are doubtless, men who are look
ing after truth, searching auxiously the
field Of the present to find something that
appeals to the judgment and reason, the
world is getting up every day on higher
plane of thought; and thus do they APP
proach nearer the infinite and are bet
ter prepared to understand the wonders
He has written upon the face of nature
throughout the world.
Yes, prejudice is rapidly giving way
before the calm investigation of en-
lightened reason; and men are beginning
to look beyond the surface into the
depths of all subjects that are presented
to them and to eliminate the wheat from
the chad, the truth from the error that
has choked it down and prevented it
reaching up to the eternal sudhghi
where only it is seen, appreciated and
understood.
